Compressor Lubricants

LB Series and 50-HB Series base stocks are used extensively in the formulation of compressor lubricants. Centrifugal, reciprocating, rotary-screw, sliding vane, and other types of compressors can be lubricated with UCON lubricants in a variety of applications, including helium, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, natural gas, ethylene, stack gases, landfill gas, and fluorocarbon refrigerant. They offer excellent lubricity, high temperature stability, resistance to sludge and varnish formation, good additive response, and adaptable solubility.
